"This quarterback thing will go into training camp. Hopefully we can get it decided into the first couple of weeks into camp. Probably more realistically we will have a quarterback named in the third week of training camp."

“Obviously I loved the weather and atmosphere. I can definitely see they have made some improvements on both offense and defense. I like that Coach McNulty is not so one dimensional and he spreads guys out on the field, where they can easily get open."
